A White House official confirmed that Trump intends to keep the medal.

In a social media post on Thursday evening, Trump wrote: “Maria presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you Maria!”

The White House later posted a photo of Trump and Machado with the president holding up a large, gold-coloured frame displaying the medal. Accompanying text read, “To President Donald J. Trump In Gratitude for Your Extraordinary Leadership in Promoting Peace through Strength,” and labeled the gesture as a “Personal Symbol of Gratitude on behalf of the Venezuelan People.”

“He deserves it, and it was a very emotional moment,” Machado later told broadcaster Fox News in an interview, AFP reported.
